Your Host

Our Story starts in February 1958 when my Father,Bill, married my Mother, Val, at St Pauls church in Grangetown,Cardiff UK.

Feb 1959 ...The world holds its breath as " Our Hero" enters the world and take his first swimming Lesson in a tin bath......colour photography not yet invented !

The old tin bath still comes in handy !

Whadda Guy

1961 Getting the first locks of hair, pity its in the "Shirley Temple" style. I was about to attend West close nursery in Cardiff's docklands and my Grandparents ran the nearby pub "Ship & Pilot".

Moved onto Grange council school for Young Gentlemen.

Growing up

After working and learning my trade in a shipyard it was time to get on my travels, as a Marine enginneer I got to travel the world....and they paid me for it !

These Days

So we are now up to date...I hit my mid 40's....get responsible (Kinda) and ask my gorgeous girl (Mandy) to marry me... she said Yes !

We were married at Sunset on 13th September 2004 overlooking the Pacific Ocean on the Beautiful Hawaiin Island of Oahu


We used to Live just outside Cardiff in Wales
In November 2006 we decided to uproots and live on the Island of Cyprus, in the village of Pissouri
Thanks for visiting and Good Luck on your Travels.
Rob & Mandy
